“Batman: The Adventures Continue” Chapter 1

By | Apr 2, 2020 | Reviews

There are few bits of comics-related culture that are as widely beloved as Batman: The Animated Series. This isn’t the first comic sequel/companion to the series, but it is the first since the show really solidified its classic status, so it is a little tricky to attempt to continue those stories many years later.However, assembling […]

“Batman/Huntress: Cry for Blood”

By | Mar 30, 2020 | Reviews

Following Huntress’s big screen debut in Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn), I was keen to revisit Greg Rucka and Rick Burchett’s 2000 miniseries “Batman/Huntress: Cry for Blood,” as I felt it could’ve been the basis for a great sequel if Ben Affleck hadn’t hung up the cape and cowl.

By | Mar 27, 2020 | Reviews

In a flock of cartoon ducks that already features Donald, Daffy, Howard, and Darkwing – not to mention Scrooge McDuck and his nephews Huey, Dewey and Louie – “Super Duck” #1 doesn’t do a whole lot to distinguish itself from the rest.

“Fantastic Four: Marvels Snapshot” #1

By | Mar 27, 2020 | Reviews

Comics are filled with epic battles, heroes fighting world-threatening foes, and cosmic threats beyond the scope of imagination. With such an epic scope, it’s sometimes nice to look at the rest of the world – the people who live their day-to-day lives, and how they see these heroic characters. That’s where “Marvels Snapshot” comes in, […]

“Hidden Society” #2

By | Mar 27, 2020 | Reviews

Folks, I’m not going to lie. The world is pretty scary right now and while it will get better, it looks like we’ve got some time before that happens. Honestly, it’s kind of surreal seeing a literal comic book plot play out in real life but if there’s one thing I know, it’s that the […]

Have you ever wanted to see Scalphunter, Wild Child, Empath, Nanny, Orphanmaker, Psylocke and Havok in one place?

“X-O Manowar” #1 balances its superhero origin needs with a good dose of humor, but fast-tracks the plot a bit too much at times. Warning: spoilers ahead.

Bloodshot

By | Mar 25, 2020 | Movies, Reviews

After watching Bloodshot, the film adaptation of the Valiant comic of the same name, I could see various angles and things to poke the film with. There is how the film is steeped in a layered articulation of genre, even if the film isn’t as clever as it thinks it is. On a formal level […]

“Familiar Face”

By | Mar 23, 2020 | Reviews

Michael Deforge’s newest work, the hardcover OGN “Familiar Face” out now from Drawn & Quarterly, is a tremendous gift, and a read that hits particularly well given the current state of the world at large. Deforge, no stranger to critiquing society (his “Ant Colony” a scathing and darkly existential notable example), returns with another look […]
